Lorne Lanning Interview

Team Xbox cooked up an interview with Oddworld Inhabitants' Lorne Lanning who chats about its latest Xbox exclusive game:

Different publishers, same story. How is it that Stranger, like Munch's Oddysee before it, is once again an Xbox exclusive?

Lorne Lanning: Stranger was built as an Xbox only game. When we signed on with EA they were confident that they could, with the help of some other developers, convert Stranger to the PS2. If they could achieve this, we would be fully supportive of it. In the end, they found it would take longer and cost more than they had anticipated, and as the Xbox version is nearly complete, they decided that a delayed release for the PS2 did not make sense.

Color me crazy, but they couldn't port the last game to the PS2 either...
